This time it’s done: Irish pubs and restaurants all over Ireland are now allowed to serve their food and drink indoors… as well as outdoors! This new measure, authorized by the Irish government, marks a new turning point in its lifting of anti-covid restrictions. Until now, pubs and restaurants were only allowed to receive the public on their terraces!

Fortunately, Irish state aid has enabled struggling pubs and restaurants to hang on. They hope to take advantage of this massive reopening to boost their economy!
Since this morning, many establishments have been welcoming their customers in their dining rooms… A new atmosphere reigns here, much to the delight of locals and tourists alike.
But be warned: the Irish government has laid down a set of guidelines for customers wishing to eat and/or drink indoors… And these are numerous, to say the least.

According to the Irish government, these instructions should enable the hotel and restaurant industry to get back on its feet in the long term, while preserving everyone’s safety.
